Following the screening, conversation with the filmmaker and Dr. Nasser Kotby
The extraordinary story of Dr. Mohamed Helmy, an Egyptian doctor, who, posing as a Nazi supporter, rescued a Jewish girl disguised as a Muslim in Nazi Berlin. He is the first and only Arab to be recognized as Righteous Among the Nations, but his family refused to accept the award due to political reasons and fear. Helmy's nephew, Dr. Kotby is the first Arab to talk about the holocaust in a film.
The film grapples with the risk a moral person takes when he chooses to follow his conscience within the historical context of the Holocaust. At the same time, the film highlights the risk that Nasser, the Egyptian, is taking today by going against the general consensus in Egypt and accepting an honorary title from the State of Israel. Anna and the Egyptian Doctor presents a story that transcends the boundaries of time, religion, and politics
